About a week of rain is to be followed by another week of rain around here. There's an old joke about rain always coming right after you wash your car, but that can't happen to us because you aren't allowed to wash your car here because we are apparently in the midst of a drought. A really wet drought.

Where I grew up the joke is it always rains during county fair week. This year after weeks (months?) of drought, sure enough it started raining the week before fair week, and continued throughout fair week. Never fails.

It was never our intent to live stream the Opening Ceremony or Closing Ceremony. They are complex entertainment spectacles that do not translate well online because they require context, which our award-winning production team will provide for the large prime-time audiences that gather together to watch them.

So, basically: F U internet users.

I think that's funny since I thought the commentary and pieces they did during the opening ceremony were nauseatingly terrible. I'd rather they just hadn't said a word and just showed video of the whole event :p

XXX Olympics kind of gives a whole new meaning to getting screwed by the Russian judge.

Is it true that NBC cut out 'Abide with me'? Can you imagine the outcry if a foreign broadcaster cut a 9/11 tribute from a US show?

The farmers here in central Illinois are definitely feeling the lack of rain. Predictions on the corn harvest move downward daily. Based on what they are saying on the local ag. radio shows, we are approaching dust bowl levels of drought.

Yeah they're calling for the same here. We're sitting at 60-80% under normal, I was out talking with a buddy who was doing maintenance on his field pumps. Next year he's going with an underground feeder system, but he's dug a 3rd and 4th pond just incase, as he likes to put it. Better to be paranoid and prepared than not. On the upside, his soy and corn are going to sell very well.
